Located in Mesa, AZ and founded in 1909, Oriental Masonic Lodge #20 is a part of the worlds oldest fraternity, dating back to the ancient Stonemasons. Our members seek to better their lives through community service, camaraderie, and to make good men better. Members of Oriental Lodge frequently participate in their local community, where we host blood drives, honor both teachers and educators who have made a difference in their schools, as well as other charitable events. Freemasonry is unique to each brother, and there is something for everyone who joins the ranks of Presidents, Actors, and regular citizens, for when you enter the lodge room, no matter your social status, we all meet as equals.
Freemasonry is many things to many people. One way to think about Freemasonry is a system of moral instruction that uses symbols and allegories to teach its principles. The legends and myths of old stone cutters and masons have been woven into interesting and effective ways to portray moral truths. In the modern-day context - Freemasonry is an organized society of men which applies the old tools and principles of masonry to the art and science of character building. We are not a secret society. We are a society with "secrets" which are accessible to members.
